MATRIX-MAGAZINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 6, 1914i.

To all h am it may concern Be it known that 1, DAVID PETRI-PAL- MEDO, a citizen of the. United States, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairlield and State of Connecticut, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in lllatrix-ll-lagazines, of which the following is ,a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to the lower delivery end of a matrix magazine which is adapted for use in a linotype machine. Each matrix magazine contains a plurality of channels for holding the matrices; and, associated with each channel, is an escapement mechanism, which must be operable from the key board, for controlling the release .of matrices therefrom. The escapements, whatever maybe their specific form, are delicate little pieces of mechanism; and the mounting of those escapements in operative position relative to the several magazine channels, near the lower delivery mouths thereof, has heretofore been a delicate, diiiicult and expensive operation, and

zinc is of a plurality metal blocks, set

side by side, and locked in place, said blocks having in corresponding sides recesses which serve as housings, each adapted to house an escapement mechanism, which housings will each be covered by the next adjacent block. This constitutes the fundamental novel characteristic of this invention, which, howev r, includes additionally numerous specific features of construction, as shown in the drawing and hereinafter described and definitely pointed out in the appended claims.

Tn the drawing, Figure l is a perspective rear elevation of a matrix magazine emhodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of a part of a magazinein he plane indicated by line 2-2 on Fig.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the right end of a magazine in the plane indicated by line 3-3 on Fig. 4:. Fig. 4; is a transverse vertical section of the lower part of a magazine, which section is in a plane indicated by line all on Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the metal blocks which carries an escapement mechanism; and Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view, the sections being taken on the broken line 66 on Fig. 4:.

The front wall of a magazine may consist of a plate A of suitable height and width, having in its rear face a plurality of vertical grooves a. The upper part of the back wall of each magazine may consist of a plate C which is parallel with the plate A. and has in its front face vertical grooves so placed that each lies directly behind a groove 0 and forms, with it, a magazine channel. The ears m on a matrix M project into these grooves a and c, and thereby the matrices are guided. These front and back plates are connected by end plates P, and are held properly spaced apart by vertical bars p placed at suitable intervals.

The plate C does not extend to the bottom of the magazine as does the front plate A; but below the lower edge of the back plate C are a plurality of metal blocks, B, B, set side by side, as shown, so as to form the lower part of the back wall of the magazine.

One face of each block, (the right face as shown) is recessed,-the recess 7) extending to the front edge and to the lower edge of this block. llhen two of these blocks are placed side by side, the hand block serves as a cover for the recess in the other block, thereby forming a housing within which the escapement mechanism is mounted.

The front edge of each block is vertically rabhetcd as shown so as to form a two sided groove 1) The third sideof the groove is formed by the adjacent block; and these blocks are placed so that these grooves 31 are downward continuations of the groove 6. Each groove is and the opposed grooves c, e, form therefore a magazine channel which the matrices ,ll/l are guided by the projection of their ears m into said channel.

The magazine also includes a horizontal back bar N upon which the blocks B are has is ste the tewer edge sf h e1? setews m intetvets t0 the -rent each t l the rent fat-e wt he ham; her here 1s hemzentet ta hue; item the end he the 1E9; -e rest edges the hlschs 0% L W n m.
